Commentaries on Psalms 136:16
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 16To him which led his people through the wilderness - For all the manifestations of his care during a period of forty years. For his mercy - That is, his mercy was to be measured by all the protection extended over them; by all the provision made for their needs; by all that God did to defend them; by all his interposition when attacked by their enemies; by safely bringing them to the land to which he had promised to conduct them.Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 10-22Verses 10-22 The great things God did for Israel, when he brought them out of Egypt, were mercies which endured long to them; and our redemption by Christ, which was typified thereby, endures for ever. It is good to enter into the history of God's favours, and in each to observe, and own, that his mercy endureth for ever. He put them in possession of a good land; it was a figure of the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ.Read the comment
